Indian Creek Design's

I have a passion for many artistic styles. My love for the arts started at a very young age. My mother introduced me to classical music from the moment I was born and I watched her practice oil painting while I was growing up. Drawing became a favorite pastime and I took art lessons in middle school. In High School I added a photography class to my schedule and learned more about how a camera works, how an image is captured, how to use the light to produce the image I wanted, and how to process film in a dark room. In those days , there were only film loaded cameras. After high school, I let the lessons I had learned slip away as I focused on raising my three kids. My love for art never left me, though. I passed on the little knowledge I have to my children and now my daughter is becoming quite the artist. Up until recently, I had focused my photography on capturing the many events that happen in our home and during outings we have made as a family. Now my focus has been to try and re-learn the art of photography again and with the use of the new digital cameras, it is so much easier for me to understand the nuances of photography. I enjoy taking pictures of my 3 children, our family activities and my garden. While out and about in the Treasure Valley or during our wilderness excursions around Idaho, I like to shoot anything that interests me. This includes a wide range of things. Sometimes I am blown away by the awesome power of God through nature, and other times I am struck by the beauty or even the strangeness of a man made object. I also have a deep love of architecture and silly things like antique wallpaper and carpet! I have been known to walk through an old house decorated for the period and take pictures of the decorative woodwork, old windows and doors. I look forward to learning more as I continue this journey and I hope you enjoy my view of the world.
